Bidding wars still rare in other previously-hot metro areas<\/h2>\n

The housing market in San Francisco is quickly heating back up\u201435 percent of offers written by Redfin agents on behalf of their home-buying customers in May faced a bidding war, up from just 5 percent in January but still down from 77 percent in May 2018. Nationally, just 16 percent of Redfin offers faced a bidding war in May.
\n\u201cEarlier this year, the San Francisco housing market appeared to be running out of gas, but the recent tech IPOs have reignited competition.\u201d said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather<\/a>. \u201cBuyers want to get in now before prices shoot up, while many would-be sellers are holding out for higher prices. With more people looking to buy homes than there are homes for sale, what you have is a recipe for bidding wars.\u201d
\nSan Francisco<\/a> was the most competitive metro in the nation in May, beating out the second-most-competitive metro of San Diego<\/a> (24%) by over 10 points. No other metro saw more than one in five offers face competition in May.
\n\u201cBidding wars are back with a fury in San Francisco,\u201d said local Redfin agent Miriam Westberg<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen as many as 33 offers on one property recently, and most offers have no contingencies or are all-cash offers substantially higher than the list price. A few recent buyers have been surprised by how much competition they faced when they submitted their first offer since they heard about the slowdown at the end of last year. But it just takes that one failed offer for most to realize what they are in for. It feels like early spring\/summer 2018 again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"San<\/figure>\n

The least competitive market in January was Miami<\/a>, where just one percent of Redfin offers faced competition. Raleigh<\/a> (5%) and Dallas<\/a> (6%) were the second and third-least competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Editor’s Note: Early in 2020 we discovered an issue with the data we had been collecting on bidding wars, which caused us to underestimate the rate of bidding wars in several markets. Redfin is currently in the process of fixing these data issues. Once complete, we will provide an updated estimate of the bidding wars for 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
